I can install 1.0 from a package .bin but it tries to install in myname/home.
Then what would that mean?
Plus 1.0 has problems anyway right?
So where would I find good instructions for source install on ubuntu. I hear that it is very difficult and I've seen
multiple procedures all over the web with multiple caveats. Could you direct me to
what I need?
I don't know what a symlink is so I would need to read up on that too.
I've only been using linux for about a week.
Thanks,
Dan

The easiest way to upgrade on Ubuntu is to follow the source install
procedure and leave the system-wide couchdb intact.
The system couchdb will not clash because the source install goes to
/usr/local by default.
Then just replace the /etc/init.d/couchdb with a symlink to
/usr/loca/etc/init.d/couchdb and it will start you new version of
couch.
